Multimedia playing application control method and terminal

A multimedia playing application control method, comprising:

• receiving, by a terminal, physical indication information, wherein the physical indication information is used to control a multimedia playing application running in the terminal;
• converting, by the terminal, the physical indication information into corresponding control indication information according to a preset correspondence;
• and
• sending, by the terminal, the control indication information to the multimedia playing application running in the terminal, wherein the control indication information is used to instruct the multimedia playing application to execute an operation corresponding to the control indication information;
• wherein sending, by the terminal, the control indication information to the multimedia playing application running in the terminal comprises:
• determining, by the terminal, a multimedia playing application to be controlled by the physical indication information,
• acquiring, by the terminal, a preset identifier corresponding to the to-be-controlled multimedia playing application, and
• broadcasting, by the terminal, a control message carrying the preset identifier and the control indication information, so that the to-be-controlled multimedia playing application receives and executes the control indication information;
• and
• wherein before acquiring, by the terminal, a preset identifier corresponding to the to-be-controlled multimedia playing application, the method further comprises:
• sending, by the terminal, a query message to all multimedia playing applications installed in the terminal, wherein the query message is used to query for a preset value corresponding to each multimedia playing application,
• receiving, by the terminal, the corresponding preset values that are separately returned by all the multimedia playing applications according to the query message,
• using, by the terminal, the preset values as preset identifiers, or generating, by the terminal, preset identifiers according to the preset values, and
• storing, by the terminal, the preset identifiers corresponding to the multimedia playing applications.
